August at the Institute

Summer Sessions Open to All

August at the Institute is making a welcome return, with many of the Institute’s favourite tutors and some fine guest speakers coming together for a month of special one-off talks, workshops, guided walks and more.

This special programme is open to all – members and non-members alike – and is a great way to get a taste of what the Institute is all about.

Pick up a printed copy from the library or Admiral’s House, or download the PDF to view it online.

All events are open for booking and can be booked via our online shop, in person at the library, or by sending a cheque alongside details of what you would like to book and your contact details.
